So I am using the computer at my friends house since I had no internet access over the past 2 weeks. I just found out that my friends dad who is an LE also uses said computer.
> How would I go about deleting ALL information from the computer???
Please help! Thank you

Do you know the requirements to be a cop? Almost fucking nothing. The majority of cops are fucking stupid. This is an assumption, of course, but I'm pretty sure if you cleared the history and all the jazz, you're fine, the last place he would want to investigate hardcore into the deep spaces of his hard drive, is his own computer. Unless he also suspects that you're some sort of drug dealer.

Did you save any information on the computer, or did you just use the Tor Browser Bundle to access Silk Road?
-
I do not store any other information on the computer besides PGP info on Kleopatra and the Tor Bundle.
Lets say he did suspect I was dealing and they eventually went and got a warrant and MY laptop was seized for evidence. What do I need to do if I ever want to get rid of all my SR info?
I could just be too paranoid but am trying to reason with myself here and keep the anxiety down.
-
Sounds not just a little bit paranoid... WAY paranoid.
Having PGP info and tor bundle... that is not even suspicious. Most people wouldn't even know what that was for, and it certainly does not have one use.
Take it easy bro. Smoke a J.

;D

In a place like this, i would say it is perfectly fine to be overly paranoid.

I wouldn't be particularly concerned. Assuming you're in the US, they can't force you to give up any passwords, and so they'd have to find proof elsewhere that you were involved in drugs somehow in order to get a warrant. There are other uses for Tor and PGP, and if they (anybody) find them on the cop's computer, I think it's more likely they'll think it's the cop's than yours. And the cop will probably just assume his son installed some new-fangled computer program.
But you should store as little as possible on your computer at all times. =]

Thanks demon I got rid of the tor bundle and am stressing alot less from your guys' reassuring :)

Are you still interested in this ? I got some nice Headband AAAA+ coming to SR IN A COUPLE OF DAYS!!!!!!!
is this another 16 year old trying to vend on SR and compromising his shit before he has even started? why if your a dealer would you access drug websites from your friends dads computer, who happens to be a cop, although probably just a dumb ass street cop. Pretty dumb ass thing for you to do no?

Uhhh... Can't tell if you're kidding, or if that's true. For the most part we're a nice, helpful community, and it'd be better if our time wasn't wasted.

holy shit this is a stupid thread. what is the deal with the influx of high schoolers around here lately? if I was a vendor I would never, ever sell anything to anyone who posts threads like this
-
Oh haha wow. From school computers now to this. If its a troll its a pretty decent one, at the critical edge where I can't quite make up my mind. I'm going to call it.

This is a good example of why you should be using liberte.
